Coolant bypass hose, it runs to the top of the water pump. Post a pic so we can be sure?
This is a smaller hose that attaches to the unknown part
I know this is an old thread but it may help someone. This is the part ( in whole) that I had to get for my car that had these hoses. In the picture posed "This is a smaller hose that attaches to the unknown part" That black piece in the background had to be replaced because water was running constantly hitting it. The hoses above it, connects to radiator hose and heater core I believe. Hope this helps
